Angelie loves to play in the kitchen while I'm cooking, and even has her own little kiddy stove to "cook" on. But she also loves to play in the cupboard.



Here she is trying to open a can of chef-boy-ar-dee ravioli, with the pop-top. She has also taken the manual can-opener and tried to fit it to the top of a can of soup to open it, twisting the knob the way she sees mommy do it.

You don't realise how closely they want you, how close they pay attention, until you see them starting to copy what you do. She's growing up too fast!
